Sounds really showoffy doesn't it ? I was kicked off the kibbutz after couple of months because I was pregnant & because it was to boyfriend back in Perth they said it's not a Jewish baby. You need to have an abortion or leave. So I hitched a ride to the nearest town, called Hifai and met two Brazilians in the travel place and went to stay with them before coming home. These two people showed me around Israel .....
@PeppyPatti Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure! Maybe it's because I'm adopted and have always wondered how close I came to being aborted, but it's stories like that that are probably the reason I never became religious. I don't have any issues with people who are, but I just never felt it was for me.
Plus now that I know (only recently found out) that my mother was forced to give me up because she was a single mother and because the church and therefore the powers that be at the time insisted I was better off with a 2 parent family... well let me tell them how well that worked out!!
